APPLICATION[6]
1. Tyler and Kym are competing in a model airplane competition. The positions of the planes are determined in
relation to the top of a 10-metre pole: planes to the left and below the top of the pole are given negative x- and
y-values and planes to the right and above the top of the pole are given positive x- and y-values. The path of
Tyler’s plane is modelled by . The path of Kym’s plane is modelled by
. Determine when . [3]

2. Boxes of chocolates are to be constructed from cardboard sheets that measure 32 cm by 28 cm.
Each box is formed by cutting and removing congruent squares from the four corners and then folding up the
sides. Determine the range of side lengths that are possible for each square that is cut out and removed that
result in a volume greater than 1920 cm3.
